You’ve just finished lunch in Spain and the card machine asks if you’d like to pay in pounds or euros. Comment 1 or 2 👇
The answer: press 2 and pay in the local currency. If you choose pounds, the machine (or the shop’s bank) does the conversion using its own exchange rate, which usually costs you more. Paying in euros lets your own card provider convert it, which is usually the better deal. The same goes for cash machines abroad.
